Berkeley, California

I lived near downtown Berkeley, within walking distance of the University of California at Berkeley (or just "Cal", as people here call it).

Sather Gate and Sather Tower are a couple landmarks on campus:

Berkeley Pier stretches far into the Bay, offering a nice view of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge:
